I got this from them on chat "has to be delivered by a special carrier and right now the carrier is not available at your postcode Please try placing an order after a day or two. You will be able to place the order."
EDIT: Although when I said "but I'll miss out on this price" they followed up with "I'd like to apologise for this and to help make up for the inconvenience, I’ve issued a £5 promotional credit to your account for use towards your next Amazon.co.uk order, as a goodwill gesture for the inconvenience caused."
Happy days. (edited)
Seems to be confined to Lego for me this morning, getting it on almost any Lego set
Ah it's not just me then. Also experiencing this trying to order Lego.
Remove anything after the ? in the address bar and it will work then e.g.

I think they're all drunk.
If you live in Northern Ireland it’s frequent enough. Mainly things sold by Amazon EU (even though NI is more aligned to EU than rest of the UK) but also batteries and high alcohol content items. Very annoying. (edited)
Can be a glitch on Amazon. There was a cool box a week or so ago. Day one would not ship, miss price ? Day two same price but would ship
I'm having this issue with various alcohol items. Some will ship but most won't. Not had this issue before.
It seems to be an error or glitch thats not only limiting who can and who can't deliver but also changing prices. It seems the older the deal (even if its 10 mins old) then the less likely your able to order it. So if your wanting something that just reduced I wouldn't wait too long as you might not be able to order it shortly after.
So far made two orders of items really cheap, and both are now giving me the same message if I tried to re-order.

Something has gone wrong I'm sure, either a hack or a massive glitch, or if not something bad then its just Amazon clearing stock from warehouses but I kinda doubt that one.

I just spoke to Amazon chat about some of the deals not delivering to my address and was told exactly what your saying...if I can’t order...it’s due to not being in stock at my distribution centre!
I verbally spoke with Amazon, and the gent confirmed with his colleagues that there is a glitch in the system. Said 2 business days it should be fixed but prices are subject to change.
My CS agent promised the price for my items would still be the same which …My CS agent promised the price for my items would still be the same which I've screenshotted should I need to utilise that info haha
Mine was verbal on phone unfortunately. He advised me the prices are like the stock market, they may go up or down, they can't hold the price

Better than nothing I guess. Must have been a hellish day for CS with everyone asking about address issues.
Having this issue this morning with all the alcohol deals listed here. I have several addresses in my address book that I use, but it will not deliver to any "residential" address. Obviously alcohol cannot be delivered to Amazon lockers, but yeah, I wonder if this is a glitch with Amazon this morning? (England) (edited)
Just got the same with the Draper Allen Key deal (England)
Ordered booze fine this morning but Malteasers are off the menu for me.
Having same problems trying to order gin and box of Malteaser bars...never had an issue with my address before and been using for years now!
Happening to me in england with a videogame
I tried to order maltesers but got can’t deliver? I’m in Derbyshire
Same earlier with a socket set, ordered one fine but when I looked again said didn't ship to my address. Seller was the same.
This is showing on the the Hagrid's Hut Funko Pop! that has just dropped down to £6.35 which is a a crazy price! amazon.co.uk/gp/…c=1

I said the exact same to them on chat...what’s the point of paying a monthly subscription for prime when the majority of items all off a sudden can’t be delivered to my address and never had a problem before...they said try back in 24-48 hours and might have luck but I said...more like no luck when the items can finally be delivered but jumped back up on price!

Just wondering if another seller added an item cheap, but made it unable to be delivered, would amazon price match it to steal the sale but actually end up getting fleeced?
Now I can add that to basket despite the warning, but when I try to checkout it changes to say it's from Amazon EU not just amazon. Get the usual you can't have it message, guessing because it's in an EU warehouse and they don't want to pay fees to bring it back in.
So are amazon agressively price matching their own items, that are unsold because they can't deliver them?

The NI problem is because many times, Amazon EU ships via UK creating an export - import - export problem.

All the ones I tried were from Amazon.
I just checked this deal as an example:
